Introduction: Diabetes is a chronic pathology. Hyperglycemia, which modifies the oral ecosystem, weakens tooth enamel and gums, thus paving the way for periodontal disease.
Aim of the study: The aim of our study was to determine the relationship between glycemic control and oral pathologies.
Materials Methods: This is a descriptive cross-sectional study that took place during the period between November 17 and December 15, 2022 in 36 diabetic patients hospitalized in department C at INNTA. Data were collected based on a stomatological examination and a biological tests.
Results: We enrolled 36 diabetic patients, 63.9% of whom were women. The mean age of our population was 45.94±14.52 years. Type 2 diabetes predominated (67%) and was poorly controlled in 97% of patients. The average age of diabetes was 11.37±9 years. 50% of patients were treated with insulin. Complications were frequent, the most common being retinopathy for microangiopathies (30.6% of patients) and obliterative arteriopathy of the lower limbs for macroangiopathies (16.7%). In our study, 61.1% had poor oral hygiene. The two most frequent manifestations were dental caries and mucosal inflammation in 91.7% and 75% of patients respectively. In addition, 75% of patients complained of tooth loss, 40% of whom had between 5 and 19 teeth lost. Patient knowledge and education about the oral complications of diabetes was inadequate.
Conclusion: Glycemic control plays a vital role in preventing oral complications, which must be taken into consideration.
